The PM not attending is a non-story.
Not really stressed by the main channels as it is.Web, newspapers - but suggests that ;) a d notice hasn't been issued.

Sunak may be more involved in a chancellor mode than a PM usually is. Fiscal aspects are rather important at the moment.

Boris - well he would just contribute in his usual way.

Since the PM is most busy with the economic problems of this country then perhaps a representative of the cabinet could go; like the Environment Secretary. It's their job, surely.
In the next few days he will be shown visiting a factory o building site wearing hard hat and hi vis jacket, that is surely more a waste of his time than attending the summit.

Blup
 
Turns out that Sunak is going to go anyway. Change of mind.

He had another one as well. When the new budget gets announced. I believe the BofE make their statement rather soon. Sunak's budget is supposed to help what they may have to do so announce it after that ??????????????????????????
 
all them heads of state do f all when they are there and it would not make any real difference if they never turned up

its the armies of civil servants and dilpomats that do any thing

and they are already there and probably have been for some time
 
Let's suppose you had somehow become the leader of a nation that had fallen on hard times.

How much would you spend on HS2 and Hinkley C?

Today's news:

"Rishi Sunak reverses Liz Truss’s promise to build northern rail scheme in full"

https://www.ft.com/content/fcc47f6a-337d-4788-ad5f-a5c54599a12c

"Rishi Sunak is reversing a commitment made just weeks ago by his predecessor Liz Truss to build a major rail scheme in northern England in full, including a new station in Bradford.

The decision to pare back plans for a new high-speed line, known as Northern Powerhouse Rail, is the latest reversal of a Truss policy since the new UK prime minister took office last week.

It came as the head of the HS2 high-speed rail line between London and the north expressed confidence that that project would not face cuts as part of the government’s review of capital spending."

Well, who could have seen that coming?
 
"Henri Murison, chief executive of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership lobby group, said reverting to a scaled-back NPR would be a “serious setback to levelling up”, adding: “It raises serious questions about their plans for growth, given that the north’s woeful transport infrastructure continues to weigh down our economy and hold back private investment.”

Naz Shah, Labour MP for Bradford West, said: “The test for levelling-up was NPR with a Bradford station. If a Bradford station gets the chop, that’s a nail in the coffin for any hope in levelling up from this government.”
 
"The original plans called for a new high-speed link from Manchester to Leeds, including a station in Bradford, and a link to HS2, with an extension eventually to Liverpool in the west and Hull in the east."
